Marilyn Manson was once the patron saint of teenage rebellion and the scourge of worried parents the world over, but the black magic began to fade at the turn of the century. For all its nods to Lewis Carroll and vampirism, 2007's Eat Me, Drink Me was essentially an anaemic, whiny, self-pitying break-up record. Not exactly what you want from the self-proclaimed "God Of F**k".

But he's back again, as is formerly-exiled bandmate Twiggy Ramirez, who seems to have relit the fire that Manson's been missing over the last decade. 'Arma...geddon' is without doubt the daftest single the band has ever released, but it's also probably the most fun. Musically an all-in-one greatest hits that cannibalises the group's own 'Rock Is Dead', 'Disposable Teens' and 'The Beautiful People', the gratuitously sweary lyrics greedily snort up that infamously thin line between stupid and clever. Ridiculous? Certainly. Brilliant? Abso-goddamn-motherf**kin-lutely.
